Compression type
|
Select one of the following:
-
None. Select this option to copy the data to the media in its
original form. If the data was backed up using software
compression, then it is copied in its software compression form.
Using some form of data compression can help expedite backups and
preserve storage media space.
Hardware data compression should not be used in environments
where devices that support hardware compression are used
interchangeably with devices that do not have that
functionality.
For example, if a drive that does not support hardware
compression is added to a cascaded drive pool that includes drives
supporting the feature, hardware compression is automatically
disabled. You can manually re-enable hardware compression on the
drives that support it, but this results in media inconsistency. If
the drive that supports hardware compression fails, the compressed
media cannot be restored with the non-compression drive
-
Hardware [if available, otherwise none]. Select this option to
use hardware data compression (if the storage device supports it).
If the drive does not feature data compression the data is backed
up uncompressed.
